Immigration: Where Does It End?

Tens of thousands of people have been attempting to cross our southern border illegally in recent years. Protesters across our country oppose building a wall. With no wall on our border, this mass migration will never end.

How many people can we care for? Why should those who enter our country legally and apply for citizenship have to wait to help others who decide not to follow the rules?

The previous administration separated children from their parents, and adult offenders were held in crowded detention centers. A photo that was published in 2014 proving this was attributed to the Trump administration, although the photo was from 2014, when Obama was president.

Where was the outrage then? It would be nice to believe that protestors today are acting out of compassion, but the anger actually stems from their hatred of our president [courant.com, July 2, "Police Arrest Immigration Protesters At Hartford Courthouse"].

We have thousands of American citizens who are homeless and hungry. Many of these are children and many are veterans that deserve our support and financial assistance.

It is good to help our fellow man, but how many people would feed their neighbors' children while letting their own children starve? That's exactly what is happening, and it is wrong.
